Sorry if I brought any of you down yesterday. I think that telling my story is a part of catharsis for me and I needed it right now for some reason. Thanks for all of the kind words and support. You can never know how much that means. {v}

This is me, according to Google. To do this, type in your name, between quotes, with “is” behind it. For instance, I typed in “branwyn is” and queried google to see who I am, exactly. laughing

Ok…and for AmberWitch, how many of you have heard the expression “wrapped around my finger?” For example, a woman may say to her friends that she has her boyfriend or husband wrapped around her little finger? laughing Not that I could EVER actually have him wrapped…he’s too stubborn and does exactly what he wants to do…but fortunately, for me, it tends to be things I want to do, too. ;-)

A fire update…the Rodeo-Chideski fire is over 400,000 acres, 540+ square miles. We’re being told that it’s bigger than the city of London. It’s huge.
Our local forests are going from 66% shutdown to 100% closures tomorrow. Camping, even in reserved areas, is now banned. People are scared.
IMO, if there’s one thing I’ve learned…it’s that we should never apologise for telling our stories (esp. one like you shared yest). We need to own the experience, not apologise for its existence in our personal histories (whether or not it is convenient for others). Blessings {v}
